it's dancers like this that make me wish i had never quit...

[@lafayette4160]

Lauren Kopperl you can probably start again!

[@arson9675]

Lafayette pshh probably not

[@lafayette4160]

Lauren Kopperl if you really wanted to I’m sure you could do anything!

[@arson9675]

Lafayette awww thx

[@mia699]

honestly same

[@danicleverly6527]

Beautiful dancing! For those who are wondering, 70 is referring to the speed of the music (70bpm) not her age. Set dances are danced at a speed of the dancer/teacher’s choice so it is specified after the name of the tune.

Judging from these videos Irish dancing might be the #1 workout to add near perfect muscle tone to your legs.

[@pitachipenthusiast]

Best rocks I’ve seen in a while!!

[@Isa-db8mx]

[@caramelrhapsodyjesseslife]

[@Rachelmcallister565]

I'm just thinking abt how I do this every year and I am actually quite shocked at myself and all the other dancers to get over all these nerves of dancing scares me every competition every week

[@charliebleifeld4913]

I almost fell asleep waiting for her to start. When she did it scared the crap out of me

[@bobbucks]

When it comes to Irish dancing there's a fine line between amazing and goofy.

[@jamesfox4494]

So good

[@p.v.chandrasekharan5666]

She must have strong legs,knee and ankle joints,besides lung power.Graceful dance steps.

[@luckybait]

She stood still so long that I started laughing 😂 till I had tears ,,,,,, then she moved,,,,,,,,,, finally!!!!!!

[@user-xn2hf9re8r]

amazing but I don't understand the shoes as they seem to be rigid and yet she goes up on her toes like points in ballet.

[@stphn44]

Hi. How. Are. You. Doing

[@lottie607]

Hey I am an Irish dancer and I am 12. I have just moved out of grades to Championship and i aspire to get to the Worlds one day like you! Do you have any tips on how to turn feet out more and kick higher as those are my weak points. Also any tips on how to stand on your tips/toes in heavy shoes? You are amazing xoxo

[@paytonnicely1588]

So turn out Use stickers on your shoes or buy turn out socks (if u use stickers make sure to take them off for when you go to your dance school practice and feises ) For tip toes Fold your shoes then put them under a couch for 7-48 hours depending how pointed your shoes are Kicks Make sure you pul up after them and have a positive mind set lastly just make sure your shoulders are back I hope that helped I’m only a prelim and my weak point is ARMS ARMS ARMS so yea just work really hard on those tips and you will get even better at those things so yea I hope those tips help and I know your pretty good at those things because your a champion Irish dancer but yea those are some tips Edit:ik this is so long I’m srry

[@lottie607]

@@paytonnicely1588 thank you so much that helps a lot! And some tips for keeping your arms in - put a piece of paper under each arm and if you drop them when dancing you need to make sure you are pulling your arms in more. I hope that helps, its a trick my teacher taught me! Good luck for when we can go back to feises again! :)

[@alexkalish8288]

Technically about perfect - just need a little more joy on your face and you're the champ.

[@t-bonejones3576]

Like some kind of contest to move your feet really fast while having your arms clasped tightly to your sides. You could be completely armless and still win! Sounds like Ireland

[@missg.5940]

How would you hold your stout🤔🤔🤔💉💉🇨🇦

[@eddiea1120]

I've seen people do this type of dance which awesome but don't know the terms, what are rocks?

[@maevecrossan4928]

1:04 - these are rocks :)

[@eddiea1120]

@@maevecrossan4928 nice...thanks for the clarification, if anyone ever tells me to kick rocks, I'm going out like a boss

[@marcusuadonnghaile1855]

Upyahgurlyah!!!

[@elizabethstovall4577]

Wait she's 70!?

[@Stxrryaesthetic]

No that’s the speed of the music 🤣

[@adamhenrymagee8274]

Who made your dress? I really like it?

[@finnwilson6265]

it looks like a Gavin to me, but I'm not sure I have only gotten elevations

[@Isa-db8mx]

What place?

[@adamtapz9051]

The lil Gecko 36th

[@robertodebeers2551]

So, how about those Yankees?

[@robertdemitro1520]

OMG , It reminds of a cardboard cut out with movable legs !

[@craigpawson8990]

she doesn't look 70

[@Stxrryaesthetic]

Oml she’s like 15 or something but the 70 is the speed of the music

[@КрасныйЛапоть-х6о]

А что, не дурно.

[@S_lana_0305]

Ножки жалко😏

[@deegeraghty3421]

Beautiful dancing. Even better without wigs which make female dancers' heads look huge. Also why the white American 'bobby sox' ? White socks look daft on an adult female.

[@kendrahanna8057]

They're poodle socks. It's part of the Irish dance getup. Everyone wears them.

[@ellscan]

shes got a lot of talent just always off key
